several other distinguished men and
beautiful women, besides sundry
generals and colonies, had arrived
in response to his oft-repeated and
pressing Invitations. Mr.. Ora
dy took the list, rubbed his big
nose and swung himself proudly
back on his roman reputation and
condescended to remark:
"Well, the governors party has
growed ON u.s."
The counter happened to be gan
tleman and he withdrew, backing
out of the awful presence OF Mr..
henrygrady, and that is the first,
last and only communication ever
youchsafed to Gov. Taylor or any
of his party by any Of the people
who invited him there, either in
person or by messenger, and neither
by word, sign nor symbol. We
slept IN our own car, except the la
dies who got a room at the Kim
ball, we eat our own grub, we drank
our own liquids, we paid for all we
got, and no one said turkey to us
Gov. Gordon was treated like q
prince by Gov. Taylor a few weeks
ago on his visit to Nashville, and
Gov. Gordon neither in person MOI
by messenger or missive noticed
the presence of Gov. Taylor in At
lanta. The governor himself was
invited to the swell reception but be
declined to go where his state off
GERS and his staff were not invited
The governor of South Carolina
and his staff and party were treated
with the same distinguished indig-
Unity. We have heard that Mr.. Ora
| dy resigned his membership in The
club because its members refused tc
invite the governors party. Well
wager he doesn't withdraw. The
Infringement of this fact only proves
that the slight was intentional and
| not the result of over crowding. But
this does not exonerate Gov Cor
don. He paid not the slightest st
tention to our governor. He Meth
er called nor wrote nor sent. Som,
of US little fellows did not expec
| any recognition but the governor O
Tennessee with three of his cabinet
all of his staff and two OF our con
gressmen were entitled to respect
ful treatment, especially after hav
ing been invited so pressingly tt
come.
| 1t has been attempted by some o
the Georgians to steal and appro
pirate to the use of Mr.. Grady ant
Gov. Gordon the gentlemanly AM
hospitable actions of Mr.. Rober
Lowry, an Atlanta banker. Mr
Lowry did offer his carriage to Gov
Taylor and Messrs. Richardson ant
Washington to use in the process
sion the first day.. and but for hi
thoughtfulness and kindness the,
would not have appeared. 1t wa
understood then and WAS doubles
true that he saw the neglect of hi
people and tried to remedy it. Mr.
Lowry gave an elegant reception
to the Tennessee party in his room
at the Kimball, a magnificent affair
| He did this voluntarily certainly
The authorities certainly would 40
have delegated him to give Gov
Taylor side show while they wer
| giving the main performance in an
other part of the city. Mr.. Lowr
Is an elegant gen leman and his fai
lady and himself made lasting
| friends of the Tenneeseans.
| 1t doesn't become Gov. Taylor t
complain and in his charity he ha
| already sought to excuse the AT
lantans. Be it said to his lastln,
honor that he resolutely declined t.
accept any honors or civilitles no
shared by the ladies and gentlemel
whom he had invited to accompan,
him.
| A party of young ladies called Of
us Wednesday. We remained il
our car all day and took no part il
the roceedings. We hope we ma,
! be pardoned for saying that Mis-
Eva Winters is the brightest ant
most bswitching woman in Georgia
We are compelled to exempt Ten
nessee, living under the dominion
of broom stick. Atlanta ls a five
cent town and she tried to give
TWO dollar show. Of course i
strained her Simbers. We shoul'
ike to tell more of the presiden
and his charming wife, but we wer
not allowed to get near them. Mr.
Grady and Mr.. Collier kept then
| all to Themselves. In fact, the,
seemed to be the proprietors of thu
town. When we ssw these tw,
Iyoung fellows sitting on the from
seat with bob-tail coats and rust,
pos-hats on we thought they wer
livery stable hands put there t.
keep the horses from running away
lUp in Tennessee gentlemen wea
dress clothes and silk hats in sucl
a presence. We suppose the i'm
mense crowd caused them to forge
to put on their Sunday clothes. Th
Piedmont Exposition was a CRANE
affair, we heard. None of our PEG
pie got chance to see it, although
it was said we were to be the guest
OF the Piedmont Exposition. Gu
host will please call around at ~ ~
Kimball and get receipts for th
bills we all paid and send them t
US. If there is anything due 70
rent for the ground on which GU
car stood draft will be duly hon
ored.
1t rained necessarily. Every inc
of roof in Atlanta that was availa
bic had man or woman standini
under it, and yet we hazard littl
in saying that 10000 people stoo
out in the rain all night " ednesday
Women with babes in their arm
and little children clinging to thei
hands stood under the drips waitin
for a train to take them out of th
lnhospitable city. We heard Geor
gians from other cities bitterly dt
nouncing the Atlanta ring for tn
slight they gave Tennesseans an
South Carolinians. They said the

: presence of these governors an
distinguished men to induce tens {
thousands of people to come to A
